According to security sources, Pakistani units employed artillery, tanks and air power, including drones and combat aircraft, to target suspected militant hideouts and forward posts. Officials said the operations also aimed at groups accused of using Afghan soil to stage attacks inside Pakistan۔
Local defense sources say several Afghan positions were abandoned during the fighting and that Pakistani forces seized control of at least some forward posts. Tribal elders in border districts issued statements backing Pakistan’s right to defend its territory and pledged cooperation with security forces. Independent verification of casualty and capture figures remains limited as events continue to unfold.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar both called for de-escalation and diplomatic engagement to prevent further instability along the border.
Officials say efforts are being made to limit strikes to military and militant targets and to avoid civilian harm. International media and analysts warn the situation is volatile and should be monitored closely as further developments are likely۔
